Overview of the issue

If you have updated WordPress to the new 6.7 version, you might have experienced missing string translations on the Front End.

This issue was discovered in our testing, and we have included fixes to our plugins for it.

It occurs when any plugin or theme uses a translation ahead of time ( calling __(...) ).

The changes in the WordPress JIT mechanism broke this and provoked missing translations in the plugin.

The issue is reported at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/62337, and it’s not a specific WPML issue.

Workaround

There is no official workaround for now. Some solutions are suggested at https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/62337.

Next WordPress 6.7.1 version will include changes, that will fix this issue.

  1. Hello, activating WPML crashes the site immediately. When do you think you have an SOLUTION?
    I tried the v 4.7.0-b.1 allready, no Sucess!

    • Hello there,
      We don’t have an ETA but there is an upcoming release that should help fixing this issue soon.
      We will keep this page updated.

  2. I have missing translations of content on the front end after updating to 6.7.1 and updating the theme. I ran the WPML strings for the theme again, still seeing English instead of Spanish is sections of pages. I’ve gone in to resave the translations, which show in Spanish on the back end, but it won’t update the front end of the site (Avada Theme).s

  3. WPML,

    The problem of missing translations persists on my site. I’ve confirmed updating to the latest version of everything. I went through an upgrade of the server to provide more memory as that was flagged as an issue, though it didn’t come up when the site was built. Now the pages with the translation problems noted do not show English or Spanish when I use the translation manager for the page. This is very frustrating with so many hours invested just to get back to where the site was.
